Course objectives
This course is a graduate level introduction to the mathematical theory of discrete dynamical systems on compact metric spaces and additionaly on the intercal. We will discuss some fundamental examples in the field, including circle rotations, shifts and subshifts, quadratic maps. We cover topics such as limit sets and recurrence, topological mixing, transitivity, entropy and symbolic dynamics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Elementary notions - orbit (full, forward, backward), fixed point, eventually fixed point, phase portrait, Brower fixed
    theorem, Sharkovskii ordering.
    2. Hyperbolicity - critical point, hyperbolic point, attractive and repulsice point.
    3. Quadratic system - logistic map, the tent map, rotations of the circle.
    4. Symbolical dynamics - shift space and shift map.
    5. Topological dynamics I. - minimal sets, limit sets, nonwandering sets, conjugacy.
    6. Topological dynamics II. - transitivity, total transitivity, mixings, their relations and relations to the dense orbit.
    7. Topological dynamics III. - recurrence and relations to ninimality.
    8. Topological dynamics IV. - topological entropy.
